It actually would be endemic, not pandemic. But sudden waves of car deaths, just constant suffering.

Actually that's why we use ketamine as a painkiller. Dissociating is a powerful tool for both ignoring physical and psychological pain. When it comes to psychological harm, like anxiety from a casual conversation, then that conversation can't really harm you if you're precluding the anxiety from existing in the first place. That's why it's a coping mechanism. It's just a destructive one in the long term.

Sure. Disassociation is a maladaptive coping technique where you remove your sense of self to avoid harms. It's harmful in itself because it's destructive to your very perception of the world and in developing meaningful interactions with life, but the entire reason you do it is so the outside world can't harm you because you don't recognize a you to harm as being important.

He's right wing memeing to get another cash infusion from idiots. Solid strategy really for your average corporate sociopath.

You don't take any psychic damage from casual conversation when you're dissociated. That's the whole point!

Israel's government approved a plan on Sunday to expand Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights, saying it had acted "in light of the war and the new front facing Syria" and out of a desire to double the Israeli population on the Golan.

 

A center-left group in the U.S. sees a valuable lesson in the landslide victory of Britain’s Labour Party after nearly 15 years in the political wilderness.

The centrist Democrat think tank Third Way argues in a memo obtained Friday by POLITICO that Labour’s sweeping win shows that “centrism wins elections” and can undercut right-wing populism by appealing to the broadest segment of the population with a credible platform.

 

Warping is throwing an anchor either manually for a small ship or by rowing the anchor out and dropping it farther away for a larger ship. Then the ship would reel it to change position. Good for maneuvering in harbor. Etymologically related to "throwing" and essentially threading a needle across the sea.

Warp factor get you asses in the rowboat. Engage.

 

For the first time since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party swept to power in 2014, the party did not secure a majority on its own in 2024 national election. But the prime minister’s coalition is still expected to run the country for another five years.

Modi’s allies generally support pro-Hindu legislation, but making new policies could be complicated by coalition politics and a slimmer majority.

Despite a setback, many of the Hindu nationalist policies he’s instituted over the last 10 years remain locked in place

 

Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan

Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.
